Something stunning that I just heard about Benghazi from Geraldo (of all people!)

30. One thing is clear...

In September, King was calling for Rice to resign. He asserted that she was lying and covering up.

Now, it appears (from the video you posted) that his argument is now that the tape MAY be the reason for the protest---but so also could terrorism.

That seems to be the big distinction--which is definitely a walk back.

This is King's way of saying, "Yeah, yeah--both assertions may be correct (1. The tape played a part in the demonstrations; 2.) The attack was spontaneous, but grew out of the tape demonstration) but Obama tried to hide that this was a terrorist attack."

I think that King knows (as chairman of the Homeland Security Committee) that this is what the intelligence shows.

I think the Republicans know that they are screwed with nowhere to go--because Obama did call this "an act of terror" on at least two occasions. Plus, it looks like the intelligence will also show that Al Queda (but other militants/terrorists in Libya) committed this act.

So, basically--all of the Republican conspiracy theories just completely fell apart.

I have to say---I really hope that the Democrats and Obama don't just "move on" from this. The Republicans will want to "move on" because they can't fire-breath and fearmonger on this issue any longer. However, we should hold them accountable and point out their ridiculous conspiracy-mongering. They called the President a liar and accused him of covering up an Al Queda attack!

I think we need to drive that home! The Republicans were reckless, immature and amateurish for an entire month on this. This speaks to Romney's lack of foreign-policy skills and his very unpresidential behavior.
